Ok, the Genre issue is fixed, and I can reproduce the iPad issue. Will get that fixed, thanks.

Version 201707111 is now available on the App Store and fixes these iOS/iPad related issues

Hey everyone, I figured before public salesforce I would post the every popular breakdown by platform and country.

This year I will use the 'Active Monthly Users' as an easy data point to get stats for both platforms. This also gives a more accurate number of users actually using the app. I believe last year I used total installs, so comparing last year to this would not add up.

As as of 3:24 PST this has not been updated. I could manually make the announcement and add the data, but prefer to wait until they update the web site and have the automated process do the work for me.

Sometime the web site is update before the forum announcement...sometimes it is almost on hour or more later. Like many things with UMC, they do things that from the outside look inconsistent and kind of random :)

I am partnering with Aaron Copeland to provide detailed descriptions for each band within the app.Aaron has been providing these descriptions on Facebook and it makes sense for us to add this info directly into the app.His text will be the default ‘note’ for each band. You can add to his description, or replace it entirely if you choose.Look for this feature in a coming update for both Android and iOS.

Man, the notifications from your app make a big positive difference in the 70K experience, even without considering the research and scheduling help.UMC should buy your app! They’re getting all its benefits for free!

So much THIS. Getting the announcements as notifications on my phone has definitely changed my pre-cruise experience.

Thanks guys!

Not interested in getting UMC's money, though I would not turn down a free room every year if offered.

If I have one request from UMC it would be to take a more active role in publishing the schedule into the app. I believe they have made some concessions though....

They used to not publish the schedule until the morning before the cruise. I lobbied them hard to give me early access to the information, but was told that they could not promise me anything in that regard. I believe, in at least a partial but not acknowledge concession, they started publishing the schedule earlier..which helped me a LOT...so that was appreciated.

Last year though, likely due to internal issues, they did not publish the meet and greet and clinic data until we boarded. This meant that my app did not have this data last year, even though it was meant to.

I would love to work with UMC so that they could publish the data directly to my app without me having to do all the data entry after public release. That being said, it is what it is, and I will do my best to ensure all available data is in the app before we board while everyone still has a network connection.

Mine, too. I was on my "regular, relatively inexpensive" cruise this past week and having the app pop the band announcements on the home screen was really awesome. I'd get this big grin on my face and my friends on the boat would ask and I'd say "probably not a band you've heard of."

Awesome app! Here's a suggestion to make it even more awesome: Include the hint for the next band in the band announcement push message! Whenever there's a new announcement, first thing I do is checking the 70k website to look for the hint on the next band...

2018 booked! Deck 10, cabin 1564. Lineup is already fantastic but could be even better with Ensiferum, Vanden Plas, Lord Of The Lost, Darkhaus and Powerwolf.

Not a bad idea, but currently my source of data for band announcements is the http://70000tons.com/artists/ page, which does not include the hint.

Basically I change the directory where all my files are stored from '70kBands' to '.70kBands'. All existing data will be automatically migrated. I also upgraded to a newer version of the google notification system, there should not be any code changes needed on my part, but just to be safe I want to wait until the next announcement before taking this out of beta.

I got the notification for Sirenia this morning. When I opened the app, all my rankings were gone.I tried to restart the app, my phone, nothing. The bandRankings.txt file is there and the content is still there, I don't know why it's ignored at the moment.It's the first time it's happening to me. Android 5.0.1

Ok, you are the second beta user to report this. I am going to move things back to the unhidden directory and add a file that will tell android not to index the media files. Stay tuned, as an update later today 'should' restore your data.

Ok, there is a new beta version posted. Please download and confirm that this resolves the issue. Also, it should also resolve the media issue as well, but in a less dramatic way. Instead of moving my entire directory structure, I am just adding a .nomedia file to prevent images from being indexed.

Problem solved. Thank you!

Very glad to hear this. I will wait a few more days to ensure no new issues are reported, and then I will release this to normal production.

Yea, the forum does not like the UTF-8 special characters like the beer mug. What I do, is do is share and paste from the app, and then replace all the beer bugs with the forum special characters for beer. Kind of sucks, but other then removing the beer mug from the output I produce, there is not much I can do.

Also, facebook, intentionally and by policy, strips out most of my text. They do this because they do not allow 'pre-created posts' everything has to be 'user generated', so the dedicated facebook share is kind of useless, but at least the copy and paste works fine.
